Boards
tududi offers two alternative views of your tasks: the Eisenhower Matrix for prioritizing by urgency and importance, and a Kanban board for tracking progress across statuses. Both live under a Boards section in the sidebar, which appears once at least one is enabled.
Enabling Boards
Both are off by default, toggled independently in Profile → Features & Add-ons:
- Eisenhower Matrix
- Kanban Board
See Feature Toggles. Turning a toggle off only hides its sidebar entry — the page itself stays reachable at its URL if you have the link.
Eisenhower Matrix
URL: /boards/eisenhower
A four-quadrant grid for deciding what to act on now versus what to schedule, delegate, or drop.
How quadrants are determined
| Axis | Rule |
|---|---|
| Important | Priority is Medium or High |
| Urgent | The task carries a tag literally named urgent |
Due dates are not part of this calculation — only priority and the urgent tag decide placement. The page reminds you of this: "Tag tasks with 'urgent' to mark them as urgent."
| Urgent | Not Urgent | |
|---|---|---|
| Important | 🔴 Do Now | 🔵 Schedule |
| Not Important | 🟡 Delegate | ⚪ Eliminate |
Only active tasks appear — completed, archived, and cancelled tasks are excluded, as are subtasks and recurring instances (you work with parent tasks here).
Moving tasks between quadrants
Drag a card to a different quadrant to change its priority and tags in one motion:
- Dropping into an Important row raises priority to at least Medium (a High-priority task stays High)
- Dropping into a Not Important row sets priority to Low, even if it was High
- Dropping into an Urgent column adds the
urgenttag - Dropping into a Not Urgent column removes the
urgenttag
Each quadrant can be collapsed by clicking its header, and shows a running count of tasks. Cards behave like normal task rows — you can complete, edit, or delete them in place.
Kanban Board
URL: /boards/kanban
A column board where each column is a task status — moving a card between columns changes the task's status directly.
| Column | Status |
|---|---|
| To Do | Not started |
| Planned | Planned |
| In Progress | In progress |
| Waiting | Waiting |
| Cancelled | Cancelled |
| Done | Done |
| Archived | Archived |
Choosing visible columns
Not all seven columns show by default. Use the gear menu to choose which ones appear; the default set is To Do, In Progress, Waiting, Done. This choice is remembered on your device (not synced across devices or accounts). Column order is fixed and cannot be rearranged.
What's excluded
Any task tagged someday, or belonging to a project tagged someday, is hidden from the board entirely — this is the board's way of keeping speculative or backlog work out of your active view. Subtasks and recurring instances are excluded, same as the Eisenhower Matrix.
Dragging cards
Dropping a card into a different column sets the task's status to match that column. Nothing else about the task changes. Cards within a column are not manually reorderable — position reflects the order tasks were returned in, not a saved rank.
